Olbia's been a Mediterranean trading hub since Phoenician times, and served as the capital of the Gallura kingdom during the Middle Ages. Today, Olbia is best-known as a gateway to the Costa Smerelda, a gorgeous stretch of coastline that's become a playground for the globe's rich and famous.

Explore the 'emerald coast' while keeping your costs in check — take a private Olbia tour of eastern Sardinia with a local guide.

Meet your guide at Piazza Matteotti, get a pre-history lesson at the archeological museum, and see relics in the Basilica of San Simplicio, an 11th century church built on top of a 6th century church…built on a Roman temple.

The Costa Smerelda offers 20 kilometres of white-sand beaches, blue-green waters, cliff-top mansions and luxury yachts. Swim, snorkel and spot celebrities at Spiaggia Liscia Ruia and Spiaggia del Principe, then enjoy a Sardinian meal of sheep cheese, sautéed squid and mirto, a local spirit
